So You Think You Can Cook: Saturday, October 22 at 7pm. Bring your cooked item in early and we will cut it up into sample pieces…we will have sample cups and Dixie cups and spoons and toothpicks for our “tasters”. It’s two dollars to get in but we encourage people to bring quarters, loonies and toonies to put into the container at each cook’s station to make your vote. We will brew some tea and coffee to “cleanse your palate” between stations. It will be an enjoyable evening for all!
